This year has been one for the weather records here on the west coast. We have gone from a massive drought to a massive amount of rain. We cannot complain too much, we DESPERATELY needed it, however, you try keeping track of 3 kids under 8 that aren’t allowed outside for days or weeks at a time and need that physical activity. We have recently discovered a way to help keep the kids a little more active indoors, Yoga.

Both my husband and I are very active people. We have a little home gym in our garage that we use daily. The kids do love our elliptical and will occasionally “play” on it, since they still think running and walking is fun. However, it can get boring after a while. They like to try new things, and I love Yoga, so they are used to seeing it done. I found this kids Yoga channel on youtube that we can play on our tv. The kids love the fun poses suited for them and their smaller bodies. I am constantly impressed with how flexible their little bodies are and how many poses they can accomplish that are beyond this momma.

Cosmic Kids Yoga features expert Yogi Jaime. She finds poses that are perfect for younger bodies, and targets poses that help with mindfulness, calmness, strengthening, and empowering kids. She is very easy to understand, follow, and she is incredibly likable! We put the channel on after incredibly hectic days when the kids need to calm down, if they didn’t get a lot of physical activity that day, or if they are complaining about growing pains (which my oldest has constantly!) We have found it adds a level of ease to our daily interactions.

Check it out, you may just find that it is a great addition to your child’s, and your own, life!
